Summary

On the basis of various fundamental qualitative criteria, the company appears to be particularly poorly ranked from a medium and long-term investment perspective.
From a short-term investment perspective, the company presents a deteriorated fundamental situation

Strengths

Growth progress expectations are rather promising. Indeed, sales are expected to rise sharply in the coming years.
The earnings growth currently anticipated by analysts for the coming years is particularly strong.
The company's share price in relation to its net book value makes it look relatively cheap.
The divergence of price targets given by the various analysts who make up the consensus is relatively low, suggesting a consensus method of evaluating the company and its prospects.

Weaknesses

One of the major weak points of the company is its financial situation.
The company's valuation in terms of earnings multiples is rather high. Indeed, the firm is getting paid 51.88 times its estimated earnings per share for the ongoing year.
The company's enterprise value to sales, at 3.83 times its current sales, is high.
The valuation of the company is particularly high given the cash flows generated by its activity.
The firm pays small or no dividend to shareholders. For that reason, it is not a yield company.
For the last twelve months, the trend in sales revisions has been clearly going down, which emphasizes downgraded expectations from the analysts.
For the last 12 months, analysts have been regularly downgrading their EPS expectations. Analysts predict worse results for the company against their predictions a year ago.
The three month average target prices set by analysts do not offer high potential in comparison with the current prices.
